After months of beta testing, OnLive, the online streaming game platform, will be available to the public this week on June 17. To commemorate the launch, OnLive is teaming up with AT&T to offer players a full free year of the service, waiving monthly subscription fees for anyone who signs up today , June 15, at OnLive.com.

The company has also announced the games that players will be able to play immediately at launch, which include:

Assassin's Creed II (Ubisoft)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Square-Enix)
Borderlands (Take Two Interactive Entertainment)
Dragon Age: Origins (Electronic Arts)
Just Cause 2 (Square-Enix)
Mass Effect 2 (Electronic Arts)
NBA 2K10 (Take Two Interactive Entertainment)
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (Ubisoft)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction (Ubisoft)

So the day finally came. I never thought it would, since it seemed like something impossible to do at this age. I'm really surprised and excited to see how it's going to be.

Any thoughts about OnLive? Any of you americans getting it? If so, post your experiences.

The idea is good in theory, but from what I've read this thing is pretty crappy.

Please educate me on this because isn't this technically the same thing that Game Spy has been doing for the past 5+ years if not longer? I know Game Spy has a lobby and it has specific games that are on the menu, as to which you then pick the game and have umpteen servers dedicated to running the specific game itself? That's how we use to compete in league play when I was in a Wolfenstein Clan as well as when I use to play Americas Army. Actually worked pretty damn good.

So what's this one specifically do that is different? seriously, not trying to sound like a dick, but the description given was kind of vague.

Basically, with this merged with cloud computing, you wont need a console to play any game on a console ever again.

Although im curious as to how theyre going to incorporate multiplayer online games as well as services like xbox live.

They are doing the hardware processing, the only thing you need is a good connection. Basicly it means that you can sit on a shitty comp and play the newest games on max, lag free. too good to be true, isn't it?
